Combine breadcrumbs, garlic chips or powder, 1 tbsp of curry powder and salt and pepper seasoning in small plastic bag (or a bowl if bags not available).

Dip each mushroom in the beaten egg, then shake in the breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly. Place on a lightly oiled baking tray and bake for 30 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked.

Meanwhile, gently heat the mustard seeds and the remaining curry powder in a dry frying pan until the mustard seeds start popping and the curry powder turns aromatic. Combine the spices with the sour cream, garlic and honey in a bowl and serve as a dip surrounded by the hot mushrooms.
